(T)Last - "The finals will be speedy!"


[image loading]


Q: You knocked out (T)Mong to make it to the finals. Any comments?
A: In my career as a professional gamer, I have never made the finals of an individual league ever. Right now I'm somewhat calm but very happy.

Q: Your TvT play seems to be like at a state of nirvana.
A: Compared to other match-ups, TvT uses a lot of mind games. If you can read your opponent's thinking, you can excel at the match-up. Depending on who I'm playing, I will change things up with my play style.

Q: In the first set, Mong did a proxy barracks but you managed to find and block it.
A: Because it was a 2 player map, I thought that Mong would do some sort of strategic play so I sent a scout out and it turned out he actually did do a proxy. After seeing his proxy I had a grin on my face.

Q: In the second set, you boldly did a command center first build.
A: After seeing that Mong's proxy barracks failed in the first set, I didn't think he would do it again so I proceeded to do a double command center build.

Q: The third set went on for 59 minutes, one minute short of an hour.
A I used dropships to put pressure on Mong's expansion but he dealt with it very well.
As such, I decided to try and divide the map and win the game by forcing a fight with my battle cruisers. I decided to switch to battle cruisers once I scouted that Mong had 7 factories producing units.

Q: You've won 7 TvT games in a row. What is the secret to your success?
A: Back when I was in STX Soul, I used to practice with Terran players such as (T)Hwasin and (T)INnoVation a lot. During that time, I used to try and use a lot of battle cruisers in my play. As such, my practice win-rate was around 90% in the match-up. Even though the play-style may seem boring to watch it wins a lot of games.

Q: In the finals, you will be facing another Terran. Who do you look forward to facing?
A: (T)sSak and (T)HiyA are the same style of Terran. In the finals, I want to demonstrate a speedy style of TvT where I can show the use of battle cruisers while promoting a fast-paced game.

Q: Do you like IU?
A: I really like IU. At the start of the round of 32, I joked that I wanted to get to the finals to see IU but because I actually made it to the finals it's now reality. It seems that worked as motivation for me.

Q: Any last words?
A: I'd like to thank all the amateur players that helped practice with me. In particular I would like to thank the most (T)`iOps]..Han.

Hwasin and Bogus may not have stellar TvT but to be 90% win rate against them is insane :o

Thanks, GTR!

"TvT uses a lot of mind games"

Hope (T)Last is able to perform in the finals with his wrist condition!

Last is bringing back BCs into TvT meta, but will they stand up to the power of mass wraiths?
